Why George Clooney Is Single Again
There is no doubt that George Clooney is one of the hottest men over 50 out there today. He’s known for choosing and then throwing away one gorgeous women after another, the most recent being Stacy Keibler.
Let’s be honest, it came as no surprise when the end of George and Stacy’s fairytale romance was announced a few weeks ago. George can’t seem to settle down with just one woman in his life for more than two or three years. Why? Because he’s a notorious and endearing Bad Boy.
Most women, no matter what age they are, love a Bad Boy. This is why most men believe that nice guys finish last. And truthfully, they usually do because a Bad Boy like George has the ability to make a woman feel alive. He charms her with his words and expensive gifts, making her feel like she’s living on cloud nine.
He gets away with it because a Bad Boy is one of those rare men out there that truly understands what makes a woman tick. He knows just the right words and actions to make any woman his, making her feel like the most beautiful and the most desirable woman on the planet.
He’ll confide there is no one else he can trust to share his deepest thoughts and feelings with. This tiny piece of vulnerability in a man is a huge turn on for most women. She feels honored that he, this handsome catch, chose her over everyone else to be his girlfriend.
She’ll end up doing anything she can to remain his confidante and lover, having fallen for this special man based on his words and the chemistry she feels with him.
He can tell her he never plans to marry but she’ll never hear it. After all the touching stories he shares about his life, and because he makes her feel so special, she’ll believe in her heart she’s “the one” who will be able to change his way of thinking forever.
In the moment when he says, “I love you” to her, he does mean it. Bad Boys mean well but they can’t make a commitment to anyone for very long.
They love the falling in love part. It’s fun and it’s sexy but a Bad Boy quickly tires of a woman once the chase is over. That’s when he goes back to his own life and starts looking for someone or something he thinks might be a better fit for him in the moment.
He doesn’t mean to, but in the end, he’ll shatter a woman’s heart. Sometimes, he’ll come back to do it again between relationships by wooing her once more, sharing what she means to him and how much he has missed her.
She’ll hope this will be the time he’ll stay with her. But he won’t.
A tell-tale sign of the Bad Boy is his extremes in life. He’s often very handsome and very masculine. George sure is. A Bad Boy has to have the best liquor, cars, homes and women; think of Stacy and Elisabetta Canalis and all of the others who have been spotted in one of his luxury sports cars or palatial homes.
He’s often extremely wealthy and extremely fast in whatever he does. He’s quite exciting and often very self-indulgent.
A Bad Boy can make a woman miserable because he’ll shut her out without a second thought. His words are often hollow, since they are rarely followed by action or commitment that a woman may desire from him.
George is lovely to look at, and he might make you laugh and he might charm the pants right off of you. But his history proves that it’s only a matter of time — count on three years or less — before he moves on.
Ladies, there are lots of Georges out there and if you choose someone like him to spend time with, consider just making him a friend. Bad Boys are great friends because no commitment of any kind is involved. You’ll have lots of fun.
Although he may not be as sexy as George, the nice guy really is the one you want for the long haul. He’s the man who will try and make you happy anyway he can. He’s the one who will massage your back when it hurts or hug you when you’re sad. He’s the man who will make sure his actions match his words.
If you are still not convinced, just ask Kelly Preston, Talia Balsam or any of George’s former leading ladies which kind of man they now prefer in their life.
I’d love to hear what you think.

Speaking as one seriously burned by a “bad boy” a few years ago and still not quite over the situation, I can attest that unfortunately, a good many of the traits of the over 50 dudes we are meeting on line and IRL is exactly WHY the bad boys look so good. Ol’ George gets his pick of hot chix whereas we women in the same age bracket and often in the same league of looks get inundated with the same out of shape, un/undereducated, un/underemployed schlubs and are told time and time again that is all we are worth. We are going to gravitate toward someone with whom we can have an intelligent conversation, who has social skills so that one can take him to meet friends without worrying about what’s going to come out of his mouth, whom we are attracted to physically (I know, men have no problem having sex with a women they have no attraction to; most women cannot even respond physically, at all, if the man is unattractive), we want a man whose reading material goes beyond the Cabella’s catalog, who isn’t glued to a television set, who is actually present. Men want women who are fit, look good, that they are proud to be seen with, who are not financial or emotional drains, take care of themselves; great, but that means the MEN must be those things too. Nice guys take note.
Noted, and empathize. After failing in many respects by sacrificing nearly everything being a Loyal Provider to the ultimate Golddigger wannabe, I’m now in great shape, sexually and intellectually there, and have many of the attributes but trending to bad boy because women don’t respect better men… but appreciate your middle road view.
I think the answer is a no-expectations relationship once these screens are in place for each gender. Pretty much open relationship where your heart does not come out but you earn out trust with time. No boyfriend girlfriend stuff. Lisa stresses this at times. Its part Clooneyesque, and partly the fact that we really don’t have any more Long Term for any relationship left… honestly given our long lives’ baggage (the times of our life have largely been lived with other(s)). A Proper Mental Attitude is needed to be drilled in our brains.

First of all, I sympathize with the gold digger plight. My best friend is in the same situation and I really feel for him. Ironically, I am often criticised because I am the polar opposite of a gold digger. Educated, well paying job, own my own homes, stays in shape, presents herself well; no deadbeat. Getting into shape etc is good, you will also have to heal inside. It takes a s@#$load of time. We older chix do respect good men; the issue is that finding men deserving of respect is hard. Hear me out; would you respect anyone who doesn’t pay their bills, drinks excessively, makes racist remarks, doesn’t take care of themselves, has zero desire to improve oneself or care about others? I doubt it. I have to drive 100+ miles one way to meet even remotely decent older men with whom I can have a connection with. Since my “bad boy” incident, a colleague who essentially led a double life with another woman and strung me along for two damn years, has guaranteed that I from now on, do not invest emotionally, nor trust for a long time. However, we women really do need to have a great deal of both emotional and physical attraction to a man before even a casual relationship. Its how we are wired. As much as we are told to settle for less, it just plain doesn’t work. Some days I feel as though I wish I could kill all need for the companionship of others, some days I truly feel like killing myself. We womyn too are tired of the lies, the using, the incredible selfishness, the double standards, the crap. Unlike you, Tom, I lost a wonderful marriage, to a wonderful man who was in all ways my equal due to my life being threatened because of my research, kinda weird. I want that sort of life back, not this.
You sound like you’re in flyover country, 100mi wow… any chance of moving? I’m in a pretty fun 50s locale overall – Wisconsin (lots of drinking events!).
Hang in there kitty… as we both appear to put up too many barriers, and yet I too ‘want that sort of life back, not this’.
Lisa advises a few platonic dates to make up for our lack of Looks/Skills at this age, my Game buddies say go Bad Boy because women cast you in a permanent nondesirable “Nice mold” if you’re platonic.
I am too pissed at this feature of women’s double standards, ‘training you Nice but lusting Bad, that I can’t further go there (Nice)anymore.

Done all the info gathering and I am really not going to be able to bail for 7 more years, till I am 60. Seriously educated, well read, organic farming, eco chick in a former mining town that has many drug and anti education issues. Take care of an elderly parent from a distance, the last of family, so I need the job. Already have retirement farm paid off and am hoping that although that place is more rural, it also lacks the negative stigma that this places has. Ironically, its in the upper Midwest. Spent lots of time in Madtown, trying to get collective bargaining rights for UW faculty and staff. Literally 4 major flight paths intersect over my mountains here; flyover country indeed. The barriers I put up are to exclude men that are not going to work, from past experience and to also exclude those that could be downright harmful. Look up “Vonnies Law” on line; she was a friend of mine, to give you some idea what women face here. A lot of the problem I see here is a total tolerance for really crap behavior on the part of both men and women in the name of”western freedom”. Screw freedom. I’ll take dignity and decency any day, eh?
